    Abstract Introduction: Reductions in sympathetic nervous system activity may contribute to beneficial effects of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition on cardiovascular outcomes. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that SGLT2 inhibition with empagliflozin (Empa) lowers muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) compared with hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) to discern SGLT2-specific actions from responses to increased natriuresis.
    Methods: We randomized patients with T2DM on metformin monotherapy to either 25 mg/d Empa (
    Results: Both drugs elicited volume depletion, as indicated by increased thoracic impedance. Compared with HCT, Empa caused 1.23 kg more body weight loss (
    Conclusion: Increased renal sodium excretion eliciting body weight loss may promote sympathetic activation. However, sympathetic excitation in the face of increased sodium loss may be attenuated by SGLT2 inhibitor-specific actions.

    Abstract Introduction: Mechanistic studies suggested that excess sympathetic activity promotes arterial hypertension while worsening insulin sensitivity. Older patients with type 2 diabetes are at particularly high cardiovascular and metabolic risk. However, data on sympathetic activity in this population is scarce.
    Methods: We studied 61 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (22 women, 60.9 ± 1.4 years; 39 men, 60.9 ± 1.4 years). They had to have diabetes for at least 2 years, a hemoglobin A1c of 6.5-10%, a body-mass-index of 20-40 kg/m
    Results: MSNA was 37.5 ± 2.5 bursts/min in women and 39.0 ± 2.0 bursts/min in men (
    Discussion: We conclude that relatively few older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus exhibit increased MSNA. The large interindividual variability in MSNA cannot be explained by gender, blood pressure, body mass index, or glycemic control.

    Abstract Arterial baroreflex assessment using vasoactive substances enables investigators to collect data pairs over a wide range of blood pressures and reflex reactions. These data pairs relate intervals between heartbeats or sympathetic neural activity to blood pressure values. In an X-Y plot the data points scatter around a sigmoidal curve. After fitting the parameters of a sigmoidal function to the data, the graph's characteristics represent a rather comprehensive quantitative reflex description. Variants of the 4-parameter Boltzmann sigmoidal equation are widely used for curve fitting. Unfortunately, their 'slope parameters' do not correspond to the graph's actual slope which complicates the analysis and bears the risk of misreporting. We propose a modified Boltzmann sigmoidal function with preserved goodness of fit whose parameters are one-to-one equivalent to the sigmoidal curve's characteristics.

    Abstract Introduction: Hypothalamic glucose-sensitive neural circuits, which regulate energy metabolism and can contribute to diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, have been difficult to study in humans. We developed an approach to assess hypothalamic functional connectivity changes during glucose loading using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
    Methods: To do so, we conducted oral glucose tolerance tests while acquiring functional images before, and 10 and 45 min after glucose ingestion in a healthy male and cross-sectionally in 20 healthy participants on two different diets.
    Results: At group level, 39 fMRI sessions were not sufficient to detect glucose-mediated connectivity changes. However, 10 repeated sessions in a single subject revealed significant intrinsic functional connectivity increases 45 min after glucose intake in the arcuate, paraventricular, and dorsomedial nuclei, as well as in the posterior hypothalamic area, median eminence, and mammillary bodies.
    Discussion: Our methodology allowed to outline glucose-sensitive hypothalamic pathways in a single human being and holds promise in delineating individual pathophysiology mechanisms in patients with dysglycemia.

    Abstract Purpose: Recently, cerebral autoregulation indices based on moving correlation indices between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and cerebral oximetry (NIRS, ORx) or transcranial Doppler (TCD)-derived middle cerebral artery flow velocity (Mx) have been introduced to clinical practice. In a pilot study, we aimed to evaluate the validity of these indices using incremental lower body negative pressure (LBNP) until presyncope representing beginning cerebral hypoperfusion as well as lower body positive pressure (LBPP) with added mild hypoxia to induce cerebral hyperperfusion in healthy subjects.
    Methods: Five male subjects received continuous hemodynamic, TCD and NIRS monitoring. Decreasing levels of LBNP were applied in 5-minute steps until subjects reached presyncope. Increasing levels of LBPP were applied stepwise up to 20 or 25 mmHg. Normobaric hypoxia was added until an oxygen saturation of 84% was reached. This was continued for 10 minutes. ORx and Mx indices were calculated using previously described methods.
    Results: Both Indices showed an increase > 0.3 indicating impaired cerebral autoregulation during presyncope. However, there was no significant difference in Mx at presyncope compared to baseline (p = 0.168). Mean arterial pressure and cardiac output decreased only in presyncope, while stroke volume was decreased at the last pressure level. Neither Mx nor ORx showed significant changes during LBPP or hypoxia. Agreement between Mx and ORx was poor during the LBNP and LBPP experiments (R2 = 0.001, p = 0.3339).
    Conclusion: Mx and ORx represent impaired cerebral autoregulation, but in Mx this may not be distinguished sufficiently from baseline. LBPP and hypoxia are insufficient to reach the upper limit of cerebral autoregulation as indicated by Mx and ORx.
